Which knife for what job?

To all the virgins..............Thanks for nothing!

I got them middle two and found them a better knife than the swibo's I had before.

Gave them a good workout in Onslow

V8 twin turbo diesel....Ohh what a feeling!

I have one like the one second from the top, nice long blade i use this for filleting all my fish. Made from good quality steel it keeps its edge.

FISHING IS MY ADDICTION

Um top knife forsmall stuff like flat head and whiting

Second knife for skinning

Third knife for preparing whole baits and

 the fourth knife is a nice flexible filleter

cost me $140 so wasnt bad considering the diamond steel i bought a while ago was $150

Great collection of knives Feral.

That seems to be a good price too.

Great set of knives Ferral, but wouldn't a long narrow blade be better? Just asking?

I've got one that I've had for years - about 12-14" long and about 1 cm wide - find it has wonderful 'touch' for skinning fish (those you don't pull the skins off).

yeah probably colin ws after a swebo but they didnt sell them , just ran them over the shapener and took the shoulder off them so quick run over with the steel and they'll be ready for some action

Knife of you to respond , sorry, my sharp wit get's the best of me, don't mean any cutting remarks LOL. 

Seriously, lovelly set of knives.

I've had my skinning knife for so many years, any ID has long since word off.

your filleting knives wouldnt be getting much use these days colin, so should see you thru another 10 years or so hey.

i use a swibo as well but those dick knives look pretty good,

everytime i look at the topic of this thread i keep thinking hes talking about 4 of us on here LOL

If any wants to grab a few just pm me and ill pass on the details  as the shop gives a " commercial " discount to shoppers, after running them over the diamond this arvo they are well and truly ready for some action . Dont know how everyone fillets but does anyone else fillet with the rib cage and them trim afterwards or fillet and leave the ribcage on the fish. I find after always filleting taking the rib cage this new method  filleting around the rib cage is better on the knives and having a few sharp knives to use when they start getting blunt instead of keeping going with a blunt knife is worth it especially if you have a few fish to do .

Dont worry about the banter colin you can just turn around and say that you have worn out more knives than he has caught fish.

i fillet around the rib cage but where i have trouble is going through the lateral line  . any tips on that problem i can try ? any help with it would ge great as it frustrates me
